All Tree Guys are NOT the Same…...

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

My neighbor is having some tress taken down. One of the big ones overhangs my fence and my property. This is the neighbor who decided he bore no responsibility when branches of this same tree took a good portion of my fence down last winter. When my tree guy and company was here I had him remove overhanging branches from that tree down only to have the neighbor indicate he was having the entire tree removed.

It was clear that the person he hired some kid related to a friend of theirs is neither skilled or experienced. There are three guys and they let the branches fall where ever: until I insisted they tie up the upper branches so I don't have to replace my fence again. The guy in the tree works much too hard and clearly is not skilled. I had five guys who were focused, able and clean. There are branches all over my property and I'm afraid they will be for quite a while. All tree guys are NOT the same.

Trees are one of those things that can cause a whole lot of issues between neighbors.  And, you're right, not all tree guys are the same.

Hi Myrl. My neighbors are snobs and believe they know best. We'll see tomorrow but until then I bit my tongue. TY    Sheila

It is so frustrating when neighbors do not take responsability for their actions or those of the people they answer.

Getting something done cheaply versus getting the best person for the job are nowhere close to the same, but so many folks focus on the price and this is what they get.  Sorry you have to live next to it.

hi Chris Ann. My neighbors are snobs and they hired a friends kid who is terrible but they don't know any better. I'll bet they are paying a lot too. TY

My neighbor's tree punched a big hole in the roof of my storage building when a limb fell.  A year after that it didn't hurt my feelings when the bank was selling their house. Karma.

Hello Sheila Anderson 

Oh, what a headache.  We've had a few limbs fall from our neighbors and cause damage, but they did the right thing.  I hope your situation turns out the same.

Good morning Sheila. To bad, folks think this way, make it more difficult when it's a neighbor. Hope the three guys get it all done eventually.

Good morning Sheila.  The damage and results of that is the responsibility of either the neighbor or with the tree service in of itself.

Good morning Sheila,

There is always an added expense when you do not use a professional in any business.

Just think "out of sight out of mind!"

Make yourself a great day.

Hi Lisa. My neighbors are arrogant and they are snobs. They hired the kid of their society type friend. The guy and his inexperienced 2 assistants are clueless. TY   Sheila
